Space Navy science fiction that has everybody flying around in fighter planes has always annoyed me. Star Wars space battles are like the Pacific Ocean Theater of World War II. It's like re-fighting the battle of Midway over and over again. I would like to try something different.<br /><br />Lets do away with fighter planes in space. Instead lets use Battle Riders. These are heavily armored and armed system ships of moderate size. They do not have jump drives and are carried into battle by other ships. They do not land on planets. In Knight Hawks they would be Hull size 3-5. If you removed the fighters from the Assault Carrier it could carry from 1 to 3 Battle Riders. <br /><br />1. What would the Knight Hawks stats be for a Battle Rider?<br /><br />2. What would a Battle Rider look like? How would its decks be laid out?<br /><br />3. Would Battle Riders be carried through jump inside the hull of their Assault Carrier or attached to the outside of the hull like limpets?
